A number of three children that was years younger than me are now facing me with different weapons on their hands.
“What? Are you scared? We can let you go if you would punch this bastard to death”They laugh so hard as if they are certain that they would get a entertainment any time soon. Aren't they being a real bastard in what they are doing? Looking at my feet, I just remembered how I was walking on my bare feet. Now, it makes me be reminded of that time when I was on the same age as them. Some people would also act that way towards me. Picking up on me as if I am their toys… what happened to them in the end? They won and bullied more people from then. Why did I even let that happen? Is it because I am afraid? Or is it because I just let them be?“What? Why are you not saying any words? Don't you know that there are three of us against you? What? Do you dare go against us? You maggot?“Just a while ago they called me old man, now, a maggot?
”Your offer is quite good. I don't want any trouble in fact“Slightly walking to their direction, I can see how their eyes shines. As if they see me as someone inferior to them.”Mind giving me any weapon?“Openly giving me the long rod that they are holding, they are like a child in fact. Can be fooled easily…”I like those person like you old man. You can be part of our team if you want to—“He surroundings was in mess. Different debris are scattered all around. There is even a wrecked car nearby. By despite of the sound coming from the ruined electric pole, the sound of the rod hitting his feet echoed on the place. Silence filled the surrounding before the three of them even realized what really did happen. ”W-what did you do?!?! Why did you hit him!??!“Tilting my head, I acted like I don't get what they are speaking of.”What? You told me to him those bastard to death right? I just did just as what you've said. Why are you getting mad?“”You son of a bitch, who told you it was us who is the bastard we are talking about?!?!“”Didn't you just admit it yourself?“
”Go to hell you fucker!!!“”I didn't know childrens nowadays are this foul mouthed…“I exclaimed as I let his waist be hit my the rod that I am holding. He winched in pain. The other kid then tried to hit me with that bat, instead of hitting me, it was him who was hit by it when he swang it too hard when he tried to gain a force. Blinking my eyes, I didn't know that this would be as easy as this. Chuckling, I know for sure they they wouldn't have any courage to bully others again. If so, they are a bunch of idiots to think that they can beat others even if they are bigger in number.Looking at those kids that was being bullied a while ago, they look so heavily injured.
”Are you both alright?“”Ben… hold on. We will bring you to the hospital”The kid who have a blood on his head mumbled trying to calm his friend. They both looks so beat up. Hah, being bullied isn't easy after all.“Kid, there is a store nearby. Maybe there is a medicine in there. Your friend really needs a first aid”
“Why are you helping us?“Scratching my nape, I also wonder why I am doing this. If I didn't help them, I wouldn't be exposed in danger. But if I didn't help them, then there is a high possibility that the two of the would die. It is not as if this kids would leave them alone any time soon. ”Because it seems like you needed my help…“I answered.
”Are you kind?“Am I? ”Not really“To a person like me, being called as that is unlikely. It is not as if I am like my sister. I am not a good child. I am not a good brother. I am just a weight for my family. 'Leave, just leave me alone Migo. I would die anyway. Just leave me alone and survive'”Ben! Don't think of something like that! I wouldn't leave you. You will be safe. You will be treated. Hold on. Don't give up… ben…“I was surprised when he suddenly speak like that. It was as if he head something that I didn't heard.'But Migo…'”No buts ben. Do not give up. Everything will be fine soon…”
“Taking to yourself? Kid, that is not a good thing, maybe you also need care”
He didn't answer and just keep his eyes straight on where we are walking into. The store was right in front of us.“It was wrecked but it is not like there wouldn't be any thing that we can use”We let that kid named ben be placed on a nearby flat surface. While this kid who have a serious look talked to him for reassurance“Wait here. Alright? I would be getting you some medicines”
He stated as he rush inside after he saw how his friend nodded his head slightly. Should I head inside? Or maybe I should just stay with him?“Wai”As soon as I called Wai, he pop appearing right in front of me. [Hewoo, I am Wai. Your personal assistant. How may I help you?]“Open the store. I want to buy a recovery potion”[Recovery potion cost 20 harto. You currently have 20 harto. Do you still want to purchase it?]
Frowning my head, I almost forgot that I recieved the rewards for getting out of the great whale pirahna. Clicking the notification, I claim the rewards.“Claim”[You recieved 200 harto and a new weapon. Click the information for more details about the weapon]Hmm, not bad. 200 harto. But… it cost my life and 150 harto in order to get out of that damn place! Didn't he know how much it cost for that poison king's dagger??!Speaking of a poison king's dagger… “Where was it again?”My eyes felt wide open as I realized how I landed in the surface without that dagger on my hand.
“My… 150 harto…”I mumbled trying not to cry. The door from the store then swang open revealing this kid. I just realized he was wearing a school jogging pants— a P.E. uniform.“Ben! I saw some medicines and medical supplies we can use for you. Here, drink some water first. Maybe you are thirsty”
'Wai, wouldn't it be bad if people saw you?'[Wai is a personal assistant. There would be no issue with people seeing me for they do not have the ability to do so]
'Ah, so that is how things work. Right, I want to buy a recovery potion so that this kid Ben would be healed'[Recovery potion are use to regain hp and stamina. It would remove fatigue but it wouldn't have any changes for wounds and internal bleeding. Do you still want to purchase it?]What? A recovery potion won't heal him? 'But how come? In game it was usually like that. If you are injured and is in need of hp and stamina, you would need that to recover' [You currently have 220 harto. Each question would cost 20 harto. Do you still want to ask it?] 'Is it worth the prize to know? It was hard to earn harto. I shall take good use of it' But judging by how things are happening, maybe… the reason why is because that was in game. It doesn't have the same effect when it comes to real life. Closing my eyes, I guess I can do nothing about it. It would be nice if there is a saint or mage who is respective when it comes to healing magic. Looking at the state of the kid, I wonder how long will he last. Is there really nothing else that I can do? Checking on my notification bar, I slightly smirk as I know there is one last hope. “The lucky draw“ ”You say something?“ ”Migo…“ The kid seems to hear my words. I must be careful next time.. Luckily, his friend calle
“It seems like we meet again” Judging by his words, it doesn't feel like this was just a coincidence. With my body completely soaked wet, I might look like a complete fool by how I look but who cares. Looking at the place where that big tides came from, I know for sure that staying in this place would do us no good. “I think we must go—” Before I can even complete my words, I can see them going upstairs leaving me behind. “Did you just leave without saying any words?” Shocked at how they left without saying any notice to me, I make my feet move. The floor is wet which is why we must be careful — Thud And just as I said… I slip falling due to this floor being slippery. Getting up quickly, I somehow manage to take a few steps on the stairs before another wave of tide clashes from my back. Luckily, I am holding onto this stair handle. With that, we managed to reach the top of the floor. There was no roof. Only the. Water from the outside can be seen. No land, no roofs, nothin
Slash “Wow… that… was my first” Smiling in amazement, Migo is not scared of how he kills a living creature. There was a satisfaction in his face. As if he got an achievement. “Yes, just like that kid. Aim on their heart” “Weird but… There was a glowing light in their body” “Then stab those places. To be honest, I believe that Bow and Arrow would be much better in you” “Bow and arrow…” “Yeah, but get used to those daggers. Isn't it cool to be an archer who is also good in combat?” He is lecturing Migo, even so, Saypher doesn't sweat any when he faces three of those monsters at once. It hasn't been a day but his skills already accomplished those criteria to be called as strong. “Woah, something pops up” Migo shouted as he leveled up in every kill that he did. “Now I seem to understand how this thing works” If the situation above is good, that is the opposite of what is happening on the ground below. ... “Wai…” I mumbled his name, as I remember, I only have 45 harto wit
“Brother Ethan, what is with that long sour face? Don't you feel happy with this abilities we acquire?” Playing with fire in his hand, he seems to enjoy his company with that thing that he can manipulate. “Migo, stop playing with the fire” “But, isn't it cool? It's like a magic. Look, a firebal— Saypher!!” Hissing as his small fire that is as big as the light of a match stick dissolve in the water that Saypher splash, I even wonder how the two of them are acting as if it was something so normal. “This is just a dream, yeah this is just a dream—” “Brother Ethan, have you gone mad?” That kid, why did I not notice it in the first place?? He is the sidekick of Saypher. He is one of the main ally that Saypher have every time he go in different timeline. So… why is he in bad terms with Saypher? Brushing my hair, I was so frustrated at the fact that I have no idea what to do. What should I do? I just want to live and survive. But… is it that hard for this damn world to give it t
Looking at the place where that collapsing sound was heard, we saw how Migo was sitting on the ground while a girl around his age pick up a big sword, or should I say claymore, that sinked in the corner part of the wall.“Who was that?”I asked looking at Saypher but what welcomes me was an empty air with no hint of Saypher being there. What the….Another loud thud was heard and there I saw Saypher getting in the place where the two kids was. I am amazed by the fact that this place was now clearly dry and there was no hint of it being in 'that' state yesterday. Closing my eyes, I was slapped by the realization of how Saypher was that strong. I know that he is strong and he is someone who would become stronger as time passes by, but… the fact that he was this strong even if he haven't even reach the pinnacle nor half of his level, it was worrisome how there are much more enemies that is stronger than him“Alright… it seems like before I can even jog around this building, I would firs
The moment I get back from where they are, I was welcomed with a loud thud coming from something that fall on the ground. To my surprise, I almost lost my grip on the tumbler that I am holding. Luckily, my leg move on it's own making me squat and have a hold on my footings.“And what is the meaning of this again for the second time?”I asked my self in annoyance. The moment I give this to that brat, I will surely bid farewell to the three of them. If my memories serves me right, after Saypher save Migo, he would then meet Kheina. Being with that two kids together would just start a world war. I shouldn't let myself be affiliated with those kids. Surviving on my own would be much better. So there would be no responsibility other than saving myself and avoiding punishments. That is what I thought, that is what I planned to do… but…“Why are you two following me?”“Ah, Saypher was here too”And when did she even call Saypher with just his name? Didn't she know how to respect those wh
Looking around, I manage to get away from those three. Staying with them would make me be filled with jealousy. Even if I have the knowledge about the IKINOBIRU, it is still hard to accept how the life of those who was originally part of the game was as easy as that. Every stores was now dry. It was weird on how it feels like it didn't drift in the water last night. It was really a big mystery but the fact that this kind of thing is happening, that this game suddenly becomes reality, isn't it already a big mystery?“Woah, this sushi looks nice”I grab the sushi in a container. How funny, before, I wouldn't have the chance to buy these since my pocket money was already shared by those who I treated as friend. But now… I can get anything for free. Smiling, even if I am broke in harto, I can say that I am thankful for this Storage space that helps me bring many things. I already arrange them in those shelves. Foods that are in the same likes are all packed together in a big bag. I
“Didn't I clearly stated how we are supposed to go on our separate ways?”Closing my eyes, my hand was resting on my head. I would totally go insane if this thing continues!“I am not following you. Brother Ethan, it just so happens that the path you choose is the same path I planned to choose”What is with this three? Didn't they know that I am not needed in this journey? They can go on their ways now, after all, the three of them would have no much struggles until they reach their main goals. So while this game was still on it's first phase, they have no worries to take…“You can be all good with Saypher alone. Being with me would just bring you troubles”Even if the truth is, it was you three who would give me troubles. I don't want to join you squad and put my life in danger! Knowing how the three of you will rise on level for a pace that I can't even comprehend, it would do me no good to stick around with he three of you. It is not as if I can fight high ranking monsters with t
A world full of peace, a world full of happiness and joy. A place that laughter and all happy memories exist, that is but a place you can only see in a dream. Sadly, not all dreams are meant to come true.The life we are living is a life that is basically reality. Place filled with no sugar coating. There is darkness and so do light. There is happiness and so do sadness. Life is always in balance in proportion. It was so tricky and amazing at the same time. So many wonders that we have no idea whether a day would come where the answer that we are looking for will be revealed.But for some people, the world that was the like of that is a world they never wished to have. For not all people accepts what they had seen. Not all people are alright with how the world would go for them. Looking for things that would make them forget about the world they are living. For what the world shows them was the side of a place that would make them enjoy living“I wish… I was born in that place. Maybe
Just like how flashy his entrance was, there goes yet another capsule just like the same capsule on where Fiolle is before. Honestly, I still haven't processed the thing that happened to Fiolle… all of us are stuck on where we are. Not knowing what actions should we take. Just like a piece of pawn in a game of chess board… we are all acting as if we are waiting for the move of our rival.There, he now use his ultimate chess piece. The Queen.“It is… cold…”Kheina can't help but mumbled those words as she felt the same temperature that we had the moment the capsule opened. Joined with the misty fog that escaped the capsule, it was as if a place in frost was being presented.“It wouldn't be fair if it is only you who would make changes… right? Ethan?“Laughing maniacally, he shows no interest in the main characters of the IKINOBIRU. Why is he... targeting me? Is it because… he know the flow of the story and he thinks that it was I who ruined it? Based on his words… maybe that is what h
Have you ever felt the horror of fighting for something you never see? As if there are threads that was making you move like a puppet?“Now it seems like all I need to do is to fight you”I have a piece lf information on how I can deal with this guy. Just cut his head off. That's all I need to do in order to kill him.And that is what I must do. For me to know whether Leisya really is being controlled or not.With the help of the weapons I had as well as my agility that I leveled up, I can say that it took me no time to be up in the air.“How foolish of a human you are, giving me such wide opening… is that all you've got?“With my body making it's movement, I focus my strength on my arm as I sway letting it out of my palm.But to my surprise, he didn't even bother dodging my attacks at all. What is his deal?Looking at how his head went flying up in the air, there is still a smile on his face”You did a good job, brother“That voice speaking was for sure coming from my back. Without f
There are fears that we can fight. It just takes a lot of guts in order for us to achieve it. There are times where we go face our ears on our own. And those are the times of where we already know what we should do. Those are the times on where we alresdy have a resolve in what we must do. The times on where we gather up our courage and was ready to fight. That is to say… Those are the fights that we have more chance to succeed at. But that would be different if thayw wasn't the case. “You guys…” The person you never had the chance to protect, the person who give their life in your hand… the moment that they died thinking that you would be there running to where they are and save them… what kind of courage would you gather in order to face them? Or would you even dare face them again? “Guys… I'm sorry I… didn't protect you…” Regrets… those are the things that we always remember once a thing triggered us for a certain scenario in our life that we have done mistakes. “Sorry…. I
Fighting yourself may not really be your greatest fear but fighting someone whom you cherish is. The fact that you have to take the life of someone you care the most with your own hands, it would be much easier for you to kill your very self than do that kind of absurb things.There is no way that a person can not fear a thing as that. For in human heart, there will always be a part of where we would be more glad to die in the stead of someone we adored so dearly.“Kheina… did you not miss daddy?”With his had wide open, he was waiting for Kheina to go and hug him but that did not happen at all.“You… are you really my daddy?”Asking it for multiple times, no met how much she sees it, she can never fully guarantee that it was her father.There was something in here that know that he isn't. And to confirm it… she thought os something.“Why are you asking me that thing Kheina? Don't you miss daddy?”“But I miss mommy the most”“I am hurt… you loved your mom more than me?“Her face sudde
Is there something you are feared of? Is it darkness? Is it silence? Or perhaps it is but a normal whom people tend to be scared off?What would you do if, without notice, you face your fears?Would you run? Would you hide? Would you scream and beg for your life? “What are these things?“As soon as we head inside that place, what faced us are robots that have the very same face as we are. Each of them… has a face like us. It was something that we never expected to happen.”They look… like… us”A big earthquake came making us stumble in where we are. Thinking about what would happen next, for sure… we would face those robots head on. If… it is the robot me whom I would face, I think that would be alrightAs soon as the place started to move together with the earthquake, right then we knew that it was the trick that was made by Mors MagnusAs the one who was leading all the technological innovations… there is no way that you can defeat him without using your mind.He was someone who
Kael POVWhy is is so dark? I can see nothing other than that black thing… but… somehow, I feel comfortable with me having this black most. It was as if… they are hugging me and making me feel like I am not alone…Hello? Is there anyone out there?Even if… I have this dark thing with my side… I feel like… something is missing…And there… the one that I was wishing for… someone grant it to me.That light… that bright white light shining as it reaches me… somehow, I don't feel any fright. It feels… warm… I want to chase that warmth…Reaching it with my hand, I run and run to reach it. But I fell. Falling on the ground, I look at the light… Being sad that it might go away and I would have no chance to reach it… it was… strange…Why do I feel like, the light was waiting for me? We may not be that close to each other, I can't even reach it even if I bend my hands but… Strangely.. The light was there waiting for me. As I stand up, it then started to move. But… just like before, it didn't
Things will never go the way we wanted it to be. Even if we want that thing to happen, some times in our life will always makes us feel miserable. Life is like a wheel. We may be happy today, but the next day… will you ba able to tell?The life you had now, it will never be permanent. For things will surely change… may be for the better… may be for the worst.Some changes are in our hands but it is also true that sometimes… we can never tell.“Why are you doing this to me?”Trying to find out the reason why she was locked in a sma cylindrical room with nothing but glass as it's wall, she can't tell what was going on the head of those who captured her. “You, be quiet”His voice was so deep. Deeper than the deepest part of the ocean. It was cold.. Yet… frightening.“What do you want from me? Leave me alone… let go of me! Let me out!“Shouting as she find it shocking to be inside that capsule like object, none of those big guy wearing white clothes dare bother with her words. They
A fate that was already written on the book of your life, is there a chance for it be be rewritten even if the pen used to write is was a pen?Perhaps… there is none…That would be the word that cowards would say. If you want to achieve something, there are ways you can find in order to achieve it. But… if you have not much of a will in order to achieve it… there at thousands or millions and billions of reasons for you to give upAll he thing you do will always be up to youAll the path you take always depends on what path you chooseIt is not about fate… it is not about what was written in your story, it is about your will to change it and carve a new path. It is up to what you would do in order for you to be remove int that path you do not want.If the fate was written with ink an don't a pencil whom you can erase, then why not tear those pages and burn it to remove it. If you can't rewrite your fate… then wipe it out. Eliminate it and make a new story out of it…Indeed, it is not e
